Yes, Debbra, will try to keep posting. I have surgery date now...June 4. Will attend a pre op day two weeks before to have labs done, CT scan, EKG, and speak with hospitalist. Am having surgery at a dedicated ortho surgical center...they have their own surgical suites, etc., plus their own post op floor only for their patients so don't have to be in general med surg part of hospital with sick patients..a big plus. Nurse assured me today they will prescribe opiates for post op pain. I am not having pre hab. When I saw OS, he says I don't need it....I am a swimmer and have always been physically active so leg muscles are in adequate shape I guess...at least he thought so. Also, I have good range of motion in that knee......although it is bone on bone.....not sure I understand that but it is what it is.....I limp around and hurt, but if I am in water, I can swim laps including kicking for an hour....lol sounds strange. Anyway, I appreciate the support on this forum and so glad I found it. I hope your recovery continues easily!!!! Thanks.
